5 PREPARE FOR TRAINING Welcome to. As a training facilitator, you are responsible for conveying the information that club officers need to fulfill their roles. Well-trained club officers are equipped to enhance club quality, develop and lead successful teams and thrive in the Distinguished Club Program. All of these abilities contribute to fulfill the club mission. Club officers dedicate valuable time and provide a tremendous service to Toastmasters. It is important that they understand the importance of their roles and know how appreciated they are. While many club officers will be content, and even enthusiastic, about their new responsibilities, others may feel uncertain and obligated. Attending the training and fulfilling their roles implies great commitment deserving of recognition. As a training facilitator, it s important not to overwhelm club officers. Be sure to impart to them that support is close at hand. Their fellow club officers, district leaders, and the staff at World Headquarters are all available and eager to assist them. Each session in the consists of a facilitator guide and a PowerPoint presentation. Facilitator Guide This is a tool to guide the facilitator in teaching the session. Each session includes a corresponding facilitator guide. The facilitator should print him or herself a copy of the facilitator guide for each session. PowerPoint Presentation This is to be presented by the facilitator during the session. There is one presentation for each session. The facilitator downloads the presentation to his or her laptop before the training and makes sure to have a projector and screen available during the session. The PowerPoint slides correspond to instructions in the facilitator guide. Facilitator Preparation Before the training, review From Speaker to Trainer (Item 257A) for instructions about presenting, especially if you are new to facilitating training sessions. Learn about the location where the training takes place. Determine the best way to set up the room, and confirm the equipment that is available there. PREPARE FOR TRAINING 1
6 Communicate with participants well in advance. Make sure they know what to expect where to go, what to bring, how long sessions last, and so on. Send reminders as the training date nears. Visit the Logos, Images and Templates page at for templates to create professional-looking agendas, training invitations, name cards, and other material for the sessions. 2 PREPARE FOR TRAINING
7 USING THE FACILITATOR GUIDE The facilitator guide is designed to be easy to use with detailed instructions. Nonetheless, be personable; it s okay to add your own anecdotes to the sessions and share what is unique in your district. The facilitator guide of each session is organized the same way: The introduction begins with an explanation of the session. An overview lists the topics presented in the session. Objectives are what the club officers will be able to do as a result of attending the session. The materials you need to conduct the session are listed after the objectives. The length of time it should take you to conduct the session is suggested under the heading Duration. Beginning with the title of the first section, the guide presents a series of step-by-step instructions telling you exactly how to conduct the session. Throughout the guide, notes to the facilitator provide you with information to help you understand the purpose of the subsequent section or activity. By understanding what club officers are meant to learn, you can more easily guide discussions and answer questions. The outside margins provide space for you to take notes. PREPARE FOR TRAINING 3
